Dear Melissa of 18 years,
Since you have now completed High School and just started you first seimester at the college of education at ISU, I hope that things will work out for you in the future. To make things fun, cause right now I'm bored, Lets say that you are writting to a couple of missonarys. lets just say that taking wrestling stats haves it advatages. This is a joke. One of those missionary's is very special. I know that you problemly miss Michael very much. Even though right now it seams hard to look at the golden boy. I that you are still living worthy so you can go on a mission. (if you are not already married) I hope that you never lose connection with Natalie, Maggie, and Jenifer. I really hope that Jake finaly got the clue to either stop being so complainful or to finale leave you alone. Hopefull the you get your Young Womens adwards.
Love Ya for all ways
Melissa Wilding 15 and 6 months
Oh this letter kills me. I think it is so funny! Then I started to wonder if the 15 years and 6 months me would be proud of the 25 years and 3 mounths and 14 days me! Especially because I was reading the letter at 12:30 in the afternoon still in my pajamas wearing mickey mouse ears- glow stick ears. A lot has changed 10 years! I did go to ISU College of Ed and graduated! I didn't go on a mission but wrote 4 missionaries (not the way anticipated One brother and 3 best friends). There are reasons I didn't go, I felt that I was need here and it scared me to death. I am so far from being married it isn't funny. But I think I have turn out farely good. I am confident women that knows what my streghths are and what I need to laugh at because I am so bad! I know who I am. I am super funny. There are people in the world who love me a lot! Mostly my family (and then mostly my Aunts!) my crazy friends (from church to school) and my students (they won't leave me alone they keep coming back to see me even during class. I need to be meaner!) Even though at the time (15 years old) I promised to live with my parents forever (which I really did want to do) I have bought and now live in my super cool house! I am so blessed it is crazy! My plans are not the same as they used to be but I think that I would be proud of me!

I LOVE this! I think it is the absolute BEST to find stuff from years ago! I had to teach my students about journaling the other day, so I looked through and found my old journals from elementary school and high school. It was GREAT reading them and seeing what I thought life was going to be like. It is absolutely hilarious, but also very telling. I am glad the 25 year old you is proud of where you are because you should be! You are amazing!
Well I don't know about the 15 year 6 month old Melissa, but your 28 year old Aunt Allison thinks you turned out AWESOME! Love Ya!!
I didn't know you had 2 Aunt Allison's?
I think the 15 year old Melissa would be amazed at who she will become. You are truly all those things you listed. I know you know your aunts (both Allisons?) and me think you are amazing, but it doesn't hurt to hear it again. You are amazing!
And now I'm going to go post about me on my blog so everyone can tell me how cool I am too! *S*
